Rlvaling the Telephone.

At Fernbank, ten miles from Cincin-
natl, is the workshop and labratory of
Harry B. Cox, young electrician,
who, though known to but few, is at
tracing the notice of scientists and
electricians in this country and Europe
by his inventions, in which he is as
prolific and ingenious as Edison. His
latest device is trumpet to be used
for telephoning at sea, on which he has
been at work for some months. The
invention is the outgrowth of his dis
cover of the great distance an echoed
or reverberated sound will carry, and
the discovery that speaking trumpets,
if made to give the same fundamental
note would vibrate and produce the phe-
nomenon known in acoustics as "sym-
pathy."-- With this trumpet conversa-
tion in an ordinary tone of voice was
carried on between parties four and a
quarter miles apart. People sitting
at their windows or on their porches a
mile away conversing in an ordinary
tone could be distinctly heard, and in
two instances they were told the ma
ture of their conversation and admit
ted that such had taken place. By
listening to the whistle and tracing
it to and beyond Fernbank to Law
renceburg, Ind, 1t was found that the
instrument has a well-defned range of
twenty-six miles. that is, a loud sound
like locomotive whistle or the rumb-
ling Of a train can be distinctly heard
at distance of thirteen miles in every
direction. Conversation was readily
carried on between two men on high
hills on opposite sides of the Ohio river,
about four and a half miles apart
Tests made on the water showed that
the trumpet was even more available
than on land. The instrument will be
patented as soon as perfected. A name
has not been chosen for it. Mr.. Cox
has great many other curious and
valuable devices, both electrical and
mechanical, but none as curious as his
sea telephone.

How Indians Poison Their Arrows.
From the Omaha Republican.

ing 70 disregard my summons, and was
getting angry, when he suddenly put
IN an appearance. l explained to him
what l wished to know, and without
the slightest hesitation he said TO the
venerable arrow-maker:
"Tell my brother all about the poison
ed arrows"
"Well,' said the old man, "first we
take bloated yellow rattlesnake in
August, when he is most poisonous,
and tie him with forked stick to a
stake then we tease him until he is in
great rage. This is done by passing
a switch over his body from his head
to his tail. When he threshes the
ground with his body and his eyes
grow bright add sparkle like diamonds,
we kill deer, antelope or some other
small animal, and, tearing out the liver
throw it to the snake while it is warm
and the blood still coursing through it.
The reptile will strike it again and
again and pretty soon it will begin to
turn black. When he tires, the snake
is teased again and he is induced to
sink his fangs into the soft flesh until
all the poison has been extracted from
him and the liver is reeking with it.
He is then killed and the liver lifted
with a sharp pole, for so dangerous is
it no ono dares touch it. The liver is
left lie for about an hour, when it will
be almost jet black and emit a sour
smell. Arrows are then brought and
their iron heads pushed into the liver
up to the shaft They are left sticking
there for about one hour and half,
when they are withdrawn and dried in
the sun. A thin glistening yellow W
scum adheres to the arrow, and if it
but so much as touches raw flesh it is
certain to poison it to death"
asked if Indians still used poisoned
arrows. "No,' he replied ''no man,
Indian or white man, for years past has
been shot with these arrows and they
are no longer made

Litigation Over Mrs Oleyelands Picture

The common use lately of Mrs.
Creveland's picture as an advertising
card is likely to lead to several law
suits against the firms putting them
out. The originals of the pictures
common on this market were copy
righted by two Washington photo
graphers shortly after Mrs. Cleveland's 8
marriage. AT first the only advantage
reaped was from the local sale of the
cards. Gradually, however an outside
demand sprang up, and before this
could be met orders commenced to
pour in from all parts of Europe for
them. They have proved to be the
most popular selling pictures of the
day. To supply the foreign demand,
leading houses in London and Paris
are now striking off copies of the
American originals without regard to
the rights of the Washington artists.
The Washington photographers
have no remedy for the foreign griev-
ances, hut they have one for the in
fringements in this country. The to-
bacco houses, cigarette manufacturers
and soap dealers who have been
making Mrs, Cleveland's features com.
mon in hideous Autographs and chro.
mos are to be called to legal account
and the prosecutions will have the
moral sanction of the White House,
where the practice has caused much
ofense. There is no desire on the
part of Mrs. Cleveland TO give the
Washington dealers a monopoly of her
features, and she is not ayerse 10 copies
being made for private sale, use or
ornament even If she should be com
PEELED TO give outside artists a special
sitting, but she will not give her con-
sent to the use of her pictures for an
advertisement.

He Walked Away.

| The door opened with that lengthen.
cd screak which bespeaks extreme
oarefulness on the part Of the one who
is entering, and tall, thin man stood
in the presence of the superintendent,
of the great Continental Air Line.
"Well, sir, said the superintendent.
The visitor bowed profoundly, and
said:

that l come to you. make no preten-
sions, advance no claims to recognition,
but simply submit my case"

superintendent.

"Ah7"

"Ab, my dear sir, there is many
humorist who is pumped out before
anybody hears of him. Mark Twain
spoke recently Of endowing home for
me and my exhausted contemporaries,
but as usual he seems to be taking his
own time
"What do you want me to do?"
"Give me q pass. Remember that /
do not come haughtily."
"Have you heard of the"
eyes, know all about the Inter-
State Commerce imposition
"Then you know that we can not
give passes except to employees"
"Yes, but you can say that | am an
employe."
"But none only those who are on the
regular pay roll are to be recognized
as employees
"Please do not let that stand in your
way. Put me on the pay ROLL
sit would still be violation of the
law unless we actually paid you
money"
swell, then, pay me money"
The superintendent bestowed

for you," said he, "and perhaps may
give you employment. Are you good
In mathematics ?"
81 fear not, sir. The ninth line of
the multiplication table is my mortal
enemy"
"Can you measure cord wood 7"
"No, ! fear not
"Mark cross ties y
81 am not artist enough"
'You say that you are pumped

"Don't l look like one?
81 suppose you do. Let me see,' he
said musingly, 'if there is not some
thing can give you to do. Can you

"Let me see. Pumped-out humor-
ist." The superintendent mused for a
moment, then springing to his feet, he
threw his arms around the visitor.
"Thank Heaven that you have GOMEZ"
he exclaimed. "I can give you en-
ployment at an enormous salary. II
want you to answer the funny letters
the editors write when they return
their passes"
The pumped out humorist disengaged
himself from the superintendent's en-
brace, showed him back with an un-
gentle hand, cast look of deep re-
proach upon him, and without speak

He Signed His Name Backward.

A gentleman in Washington who
has had business relations with Oscar
j. Harvey, the Treasury forger, tells
an interesting story of Harvey's pecu-
liar signature, He says that Harvey,
in signing his name to checks and 9TH
er business papers, invariably writes
backward, beginning with the word
"Harvey;" he next writes the letter
81" and then comes the name ''Oscar,
which he writes backward, beginning
with the letter ST." The gentleman
says he has seen Harvey sign his name
in that way more than dozen times,
and that on each occasion the act was
accomplished with the rapidi.y Of
lightning. it being plainly apparent
that its owner had been 10 the habit of
writing it thus for many years. The
business man once asked Harvey for
an explanation of his peculiar sigma
ture, but was rewarded only with a
smile and knowing shake Of the head,
